Into the Wild: Connecting With Teens Where They Live
Adolescents live in the wild; a place that is set apart from the rest of the world. It is this unpredictable, often inhospitable land we must enter and explore if we are to make a positive difference in the lives of adolescents. In his presentation Andrew makes clear:
- How connecting with adolescents and building trust should precede information dissemination
- Why information-based education is a waste of precious resources and opportunities
- How adolescent brain research can inform everything you do
- What’s necessary to avail yourself as an agent of change
- What you can do to streamline your efforts for maximum impact
